2022 Peugeot 2008 GT Premium EV Electric · MD71 NPV

The recorded MOT history for this 2022 Peugeot e-2008 is exceptionally sparse, containing only a single test entry dated 19 June 2026 which returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Because the vehicle is approximately four years old, the first MOT would ordinarily have fallen due once it reached three years of age in 2025; the absence of any 2025 test entry means either the vehicle was not presented for testing that cycle or the record on file does not capture it. From a roadworthiness perspective, the 2026 pass is a positive data point, but a single clean test on a relatively new electric crossover provides only limited insight into long-term durability of the suspension, brakes and underbody components. With 18,622 miles recorded over roughly four years, the annual accumulation works out to around 4,656 miles per year, which is notably below the typical mileage for a car of this age. This usage profile means the mechanical wear items that would normally accumulate with higher mileages such as brake discs, pads, tyres, suspension bushes and driveshaft gaiters will have seen relatively gentle duty cycles. Electric vehicles additionally benefit from regenerative braking, which can substantially extend service brake life compared with combustion equivalents, so the braking system in particular is unlikely to have been heavily stressed. However, low annual mileage can also mean periods of extended standing, and on an EV that raises specific considerations around the health and state of charge of the traction battery as well as the 12V auxiliary battery, along with potential stiffness in brake calipers from disuse and possible flat-spotting or age-related deterioration of tyres that have been fitted for a long time. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there is no specific component flagged for prioritised inspection, which shifts attention towards a thorough pre-purchase evaluation rather than chasing down particular MOT history defects. On a test drive, listen for any clonks or knocks from the suspension over uneven surfaces and speed humps, paying particular attention to the front MacPherson strut top mounts and rear torsion beam bushes, as these are common wear items on the Peugeot 2008 platform. Check for pulling under braking, vibration through the steering wheel, or any grinding or rubbing noises from the brake calipers which could indicate corrosion or sticking sliders from low use. Tyres should be inspected for cracking of the sidewalls, uneven tread wear, and manufacturing date stamps, as old tyres on a low-mileage vehicle can present a hidden safety issue regardless of remaining tread depth. Given that this is a battery electric vehicle, it is also worth confirming that the high-voltage traction battery state of health is documented and that any manufacturer software updates have been applied, along with verifying that all charging cables and the onboard charger function correctly. A diagnostic scan through the OBD port using equipment capable of reading Peugeot EV systems can reveal stored fault codes that would not appear in an MOT test. Finally, although the single clean MOT pass is reassuring, it should be weighed alongside an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on the underbody, suspension geometry and tyre condition, as the limited test history alone does not provide a comprehensive picture of the vehicle's mechanical condition.
